Serena Shades support

[anoopr]

Hi! Thank you so much for your work on the lutron_caseta component. It's fantastic!

I have two sets of Serena Shades, and I was wondering if there's anything I could do to help add support. Please let me know!

[gurumitts]

Thanks for the compliment. Lets see what it would take. Let me do some digging to see what the next steps would be. Ill reply to this thread within a few days.

[gurumitts]

@anoopr can you post your lutron integration report here?

Intg Report.txt

Here's mine if it helps, I have a shade as well.

[gurumitts]

Cool.. looks like the shades show up as a zone. The good news is it may already be supported at this level. Can you guys give this a shot?

pip install pylutron_caseta

Then in a python3 interpreter:

from pylutron_caseta.smartbridge import Smartbridge

sb = Smartbridge(hostname="192.168.XX.XXX") # provide the ip address of your smart bridge
print(sb.get_devices())
# Look for the device_id of your shade.  We will call this device_id
sb.set_value(device_id, 100) #  This should close( or open)? them.
sb.set_value(device_id, 0) # this should do the opposite
sb.set_value(device_id, 50) # this should make them rest at the half way point.  

Please detail your experience afterwards and we can discuss the next steps.

[gurumitts]

If device_id is 4:

sb.set_value("4", 50)

I'm anything but a python person at all but this is what I keep getting as an error:

`pi@hassbian:~ $ python3 Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct 19 2014, 13:31:11) [GCC 4.9.1] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

[gurumitts]

Hmmm.. odd.. can you try this:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev

Then

pip install paramiko

[flyespresso]

OK that worked!

Here is the shades device ID string:

{'device_id': '8', 'zone': '5', 'current_state': 0, 'name': 'Upper Shade', 'type': 'SerenaRollerShade'}

This is the results:

100= Fully open

50 = Halfway

0 = Closed

Yeah it's counterintuitive!

[gurumitts]

Awesome...

I'll add the cover component for homeassistant based on the above information.

Thanks for testing it out and reporting back.

[gurumitts]

@thephilz can you verify that the device_id and zone are unique across all the devices connected to the smartbridge.

[flyespresso]

Device_ID for sure, but some items don't have a zone at all. Though none of my Zone's have multiple items–I can try later and see if there is any way that they could be in the same zone. Taking a look at the print devices/integration report:

{'9': {'current_state': -1, 'zone': None, 'device_id': '9', 'type': 'Pico3ButtonRaiseLower', 'name': 'Shade Pico'},

'7': {'current_state': -1, 'zone': None, 'device_id': '7', 'type': 'Pico3ButtonRaiseLower', 'name': 'Loft Pico'},

'4': {'current_state': 0, 'zone': '2', 'device_id': '4', 'type': 'WallDimmer', 'name': 'Kitchen'},

'8': {'current_state': 0, 'zone': '5', 'device_id': '8', 'type': 'SerenaRollerShade', 'name': 'Upper Shade'},

'12': {'current_state': 0, 'zone': '8', 'device_id': '12', 'type': 'WallSwitch', 'name': 'Shower'},

'3': {'current_state': -1, 'zone': None, 'device_id': '3', 'type': 'Pico3ButtonRaiseLower', 'name': 'Hallway Pico'},

'6': {'current_state': 0, 'zone': '4', 'device_id': '6', 'type': 'WallDimmer', 'name': 'Vanity'},

'2': {'current_state': 0, 'zone': '1', 'device_id': '2', 'type': 'WallDimmer', 'name': 'Hallway'},

'5': {'current_state': 0, 'zone': '3', 'device_id': '5', 'type': 'WallDimmer', 'name': 'Thrusters'},

'10': {'current_state': 0, 'zone': '6', 'device_id': '10', 'type': 'PlugInDimmer', 'name': 'Lamp'},

'13': {'current_state': 0, 'zone': '9', 'device_id': '13', 'type': 'WallDimmer', 'name': 'Storage Room'},

'1': {'current_state': -1, 'zone': None, 'device_id': '1', 'type': 'SmartBridge', 'name': 'Smart Bridge'}}

[gurumitts]

So based on what I am seeing. We should be able to get this into home-assistant as a cover platform. It will be able to support open, close, and set_position. This should be enough for most day to day operations and automations.

[flyespresso]

Great! Let me know if I can do anything else!
